PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a dried pressed flow picture, which can manufacture a dried pressed flower by simple procedures using fresh flowers and further, can make available a dried pressed flower picture looking vivid with primary colors based on the dried pressed flower as a material.SOLUTION: The method includes a flower forming step, a desiccation promoting step, a flower drying step to place the flower on an air-permeable mat which is superposed on a moisture-absorbing paper and dry the flower by heating it at a specified temperature for a controlled time, a dried pressed flower arranging step and a dried pressed flower sealing step. Further, in the flower drying step, heating equipment with a heat conducting plate which can keep a controlled temperature, is used. After that, the heat conducting plate kept at a controlled temperature, is applied to press the flower starting with its surface for a controlled time. Consequently, the water vapor is prevented from being generated from the surface of the flower, and at the same time, the generation of the water vapor from the back surface of the flower is induced. The generated water vapor is passed through the air-permeable mat and absorbed by the moisture-absorbing paper laid under the air-permeable mat.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】生の草花から簡単な手順で押花を製作できるとともに、当該押花を素材とした原色鮮やかな押花絵の製作方法を提供する。【解決手段】草花形成工程と、乾燥促進工程と、草花を吸湿性紙の上に重畳された通気性マット上に載置し、所定温度で一定時間加熱して草花を乾燥させる草花乾燥工程と、押花配置工程と、押花密封工程と、を有し、草花乾燥工程では、一定温度を保持することが可能な伝熱板を有する加熱機器を用い、所定温度に保持された伝熱板を一定時間草花の表面から押圧することにより、草花の表面からの水蒸気の発生を防止するとともに草花の裏面から水蒸気を発生させ、発生した水蒸気を、通気性マットを通過して当該通気性マットの下に敷設された吸湿性紙で吸収することを特徴とする押花絵の製作方法とした。【選択図】図3
